DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING DETECTION OF RETURN OF SPONTANEOUS CIRCULATION DURING CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a device, system and method providing quantitative support for detection of return of spontaneous circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A photoplethysmography measurement is used to trigger a blood pressure measurement for assessing return of spontaneous circulation and hence for guiding a user through CPR. The present invention may prevent futile interruptions during compressions as well as re-arrest of the heart due to unnecessary compressions.
